Re: Open letter urging to pause AI

Machines may not take over, but this development is likely to disrupt every part of the society and economy very rapidly.

IMHO this will be carnage and suffering given that there is no transition time - given that information now travels instantly.
When the Web emerged we had time to get used to a changing world.

There is no runway now.
Gates and Microsoft knew this in September when they had access to GPT 4, and started their development to build the LLMs into their products. They did not care one bit.

You also need massive amounts of data [1] and a "big computer" [2] for training models.
